What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a full-time QA role where I can lead automation efforts, strengthen CI/CD testing, mentor teams, and contribute to a collaborative, quality-focused culture.

I am a results-driven QA professional with extensive experience leading QA teams and building test automation frameworks using Selenium (Groovy/Python), Playwright, and CI/CD integrations. I have designed and executed RESTful API testing, managed test plans, and improved deployment efficiency through automated UI and API tests.

I prioritize cross-functional collaboration and system reliability, leveraging tools like Postman, JIRA, Azure DevOps, Sentry, and New Relic to surface and resolve defects quickly. I enjoy mentoring teams, optimizing test coverage, and implementing scalable testing strategies for enterprise applications.
